Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

The next afternoon, after get off work, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to Lou's house. Lou Bancheng and Tan Yali were very surprised that He Yuzhu came at this time. Lou Bancheng asked curiously, "Xiao He, why are you here at this time? Is there something urgent?"

He Yuzhu said quickly: "Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, this is what happened. I asked my master to find a jewelry craftsman. I will take Xiao'e to choose a style."

After listening to this, Tan Yali said with a smile: "Then please wait for a moment, I will go upstairs to call Xiao'e." After that, Tan Yali went upstairs with a smile on her face to call Lou Xiao'e.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e ran downstairs. When she saw He Yuzhu, she asked happily, "Brother He, why are you here?"

He Yuzhu also looked at Lou Xiao'e with a smile and said, "Xiao'e, I plan to make a few pieces of jewelry for you. I have to work during the day, so I thought I would take you to choose some styles before I get off work."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e quickly turned around and said to Lou Bancheng and Tan Yali, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to choose jewelry with Brother He. You don't have to wait for me when you eat. You guys eat first. Brother He, let's go." After saying that, Lou Xiao'e took He Yuzhu's hand and walked out.

He Yuzhu could only let Lou Xiao'e pull him out. As he walked, he turned around and said goodbye to Lou Bancheng: "Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, Xiao'e and I will go first. I will send Xiao'e back after we finish choosing the jewelry."

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle with Lou Xiaoe and slowly rushed to the old Wu's house in Daqianmen. Lou Xiaoe sat on the back seat of the bicycle, hugged He Yuzhu's waist and asked happily, "Brother He, what kind of jewelry are you going to make with me?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there. By the way, Xiao'e, don't tell your parents when you get home."

It is said that time flies when you are with someone you love, and He Yuzhu agrees with this statement. It didn't feel like much time had passed. In the blink of an eye, he rode his bicycle with Lou Xiaoe to Old Wu's house. Standing at the gate of Old Wu's yard, He Yuzhu shouted to the yard, "Uncle Wu, I'm here. Are you home?"

At this time, Old Wu's voice came from the yard: "Just come in, I'm home."

He Yuzhu heard the sound and pushed his bicycle to lead Lou Xiaoe into the yard. After entering the yard, He Yuzhu saw that there was not only Old Wu in the yard, but also a woman and an old man beside him. Old Wu said, "These two are here to measure the size. Young man, let your unmarried wife go into the house with them to measure."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu with a puzzled look on her face and asked in a low voice: "Brother He, didn't you bring me here to choose jewelry? Why do you need to measure the size?"

He Yuzhu took Lou Xiao'e's hand and said, "Xiao'e, go with them to measure the size first, and I'll tell you later."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiao'e turned around and followed the two people into the house without saying anything. He Yuzhu raised the cloth bag in his hand to show it to Old Wu. Old Wu pointed to the house and shook his head. He Yuzhu immediately understood what Old Wu meant and said no more. He stood quietly in the yard waiting. After a while, Lou Xiao'e walked out of the house, walked to He Yuzhu and whispered, "Brother He, I've finished measuring."

Then the person who was measuring Lou Xiaoe came out. The old man walked respectfully to Old Wu and said, "Uncle Wu, we have finished measuring her."

Old Wu, who was lying on the chair, waved his hand and said directly, "Since the measurements have been taken, this is none of your business. Then you can go ahead and make it according to the measurements when you go back. Be careful when you do it."

"I understand. I'll take my leave now." After saying that, the old man led the woman out of the yard.

After the two men left, Old Wu said, "Young man, go and close the door. I'll go into the house and get your things."

He Yuzhu turned around and closed the gate of the courtyard according to Old Wu's instructions. Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu with curiosity. After a while, Old Wu came out of the house holding a box. Old Wu put the box on the stone table in the yard, then took out a key from his pocket, unlocked the box, opened the box, and then turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Young man, everything you want is inside, come and see."

He Yuzhu came to the stone table, handed the cloth bag to Old Wu, and said, "Uncle Wu, this is the money I prepared for you, please count it first." After Old Wu took the cloth bag, He Yuzhu carefully took out the bracelets wrapped in silk from the box, opened them one by one and checked them. After each bracelet was checked, he rewrapped it and put it on the table. After a while, He Yuzhu checked all the bracelets. After putting all the bracelets back into the box, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, I have checked the things and there is no problem." After that, He Yuzhu stood quietly aside and waited for Old Wu to count the money. Lou Xiaoe stood quietly aside, watching He Yuzhu and Old Wu talking, and didn't say much.

After a while, after Old Wu finished counting the money, he nodded to He Yuzhu and said, "Young man, the money is no problem."

He Yuzhu gave Old Wu a fist bump and said with a smile, "Master Wu, since we have settled the payment, I will take my leave. When the goods are ready, please notify my master and I will take this box with me. Otherwise, I won't be able to carry so many things."

Master Wu waved his hand indifferently and said happily, "It's just a wooden box. It's not worth anything. Just take it."

After listening to this, He Yuzhu smiled and expressed his gratitude to Old Wu: "Thank you, Uncle Wu. If you have any good things you want to sell in the future, please feel free to contact me. Xiao'e, let's go." After saying that, He Yuzhu walked out while carrying the box in one hand and pushing the bicycle with the other. Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e hurriedly followed He Yuzhu out.

After leaving the courtyard of Old Wu's house, He Yuzhu handed the box to Lou Xiao'e, who quickly took the box with both hands. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Xiao'e, you should have seen the things in the box just now. You must hold it well. When we have children in the future, this will be used for the children to marry."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and said coquettishly, "Who said I'd give birth to a child for you? You're just dreaming."

He Yuzhu chuckled, patted the back table of the bicycle with his hand, and said with a smile: "My wife, please get on, your husband will take you home." Lou Xiao'e sat on the back seat of the bicycle with her suitcase wrapped in her arms, looking shy. After Lou Xiao'e sat down, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle towards the courtyard of Qudeng Hutong.

After arriving at the courtyard house in Qudeng Hutong, He Yuzhu took the box from Lou Xiaoe, then put the box on the table and opened it, took out all the bracelets in the box, removed the silk wrapping on each bracelet, and then placed all the bracelets on the table, and said to Lou Xiaoe: "Xiaoe, this is the jewelry I want to give you today, pick the one you like and wear it."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the bracelets on the table, but she didn't choose one at the first time. She had an extraordinary family background since she was a child, and she could tell at a glance that every bracelet on the table was top-quality. In Lao Wu's courtyard, Lou Xiao'e watched He Yuzhu and Lao Wu trade, and she was very curious about how He Yuzhu could take out so much money. She was worried that he would make a mistake for money, so she asked with a worried look on her face: "Brother He, where did you get so much money? It doesn't matter to me whether I have these things or not. If you are short of money, you can tell me and I will ask my dad for it. Our family has money. I don't want you to make a mistake because of money. I don't want to lose you."

He Yuzhu embraced Lou Xiao'e with a doting look on his face, and then said, "Xiao'e, I assure you that every penny I spent was clean and not obtained through corruption. Besides, I have only been the canteen director for a few months. Even if I embezzled all the canteen's money, it would not be that much. I will tell you my secret when I have the chance in the future."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiao'e hugged He Yuzhu's waist tightly and said seriously: "I believe in you, Brother He."

He Yuzhu touched Lou Xiaoe's head and said with a smile: "Okay, hurry up and pick out the bracelet. I have to take you home later."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e came out of He Yuzhu's arms with a happy face, and started to pick bracelets on the table. In the end, Lou Xiao'e picked a Hetian mutton-fat jade bracelet and a jadeite glass bracelet.

After Lou Xiao'e picked one, she put one on each arm, raised her arm in front of He Yuzhu, and asked happily, "Brother He, do you think I look good wearing it?"

At this time, He Yuzhu said with a smirk, "Neither of them looks good. These two bracelets are not worthy of my beautiful wife." After saying that, He Yuzhu directly covered Lou Xiao'e's eyes with one hand, and took out the pair of imperial green bracelets he brought back from Old Wu yesterday from his pocket with the other hand. After placing the bracelets on the table and opening the silk wrapping outside, He Yuzhu took his hand away from Lou Xiao'e's eyes and said, "Xiao'e, this is the bracelet I want to give you. Didn't I just say that the bracelets in the box are for my child to marry a wife."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the pair of imperial green jade bracelets on the table with surprise. "Brother He, is this for me?" After saying that, Lou Xiao'e carefully picked them up from the table and looked at them carefully. After looking at them, Lou Xiao'e took off the bracelets on her arms and put on the two imperial green bracelets.

Lou Xiao'e's white arms looked even whiter against the backdrop of the imperial green bracelet. He Yuzhu looked at her carefully and said with satisfaction, "This is worthy of my Xiao'e."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Lou Xiao'e threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms, hugged He Yuzhu's waist tightly and said, "Brother He, you are so nice."

He Yuzhu lifted Lou Xiao'e up and kissed her. After a while, Lou Xiao'e was panting and blushing and asked, "Brother He, what does that Wu do? How come he has so many good things?"

He Yuzhu stroked Lou Xiao'e's face with his hand and said with a smile: "I heard from my master that he was a minor official in the Imperial Household Department of the Qing Dynasty. Most of these things were secretly hidden by him when the Qing emperor abdicated." After saying that, He Yuzhu took out his pocket watch and took a look at it, then said: "Xiao'e, it's getting late. I should take you home. If I'm any later, your parents will be dissatisfied with me."
